Trump family

Trump is a German and German-American family, descended from Johann Philipp Trump (1667–1707) from Kallstadt, then in the Electoral Palatinate, Holy Roman Empire, today in modern Germany.

It has gained international media attention as the ancestral home of the related Heinz and Trump families, two prominent business and political families in the United States.

While the surname Trump is found throughout Germany, it is recorded as the name of this family in Kallstadt since the 17th century, where many family members were winegrowers.

A prominent branch of the family is the line descended from Friedrich (Frederick) Trump (1869–1918) and his wife Elisabeth (née Christ; 1880–1966), both natives of Kallstadt.

Elizabeth Christ Trump (née Elisabeth Christ; October 10, 1880 – June 6, 1966) was a German-American businesswoman and is considered the matriarch of the Trump family.

Gwenda Blair suggests the family may be descended from an itinerant lawyer, Hanns Drumpf, who settled in Kallstadt in 1608 and whose descendants changed their name from Drumpf to Trump during the Thirty Years' War of the 1600s.

Gwenda Linda Blair (born 1943) is an American author and journalist known for her biographies of Jessica Savitch, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and the family of Donald Trump.

Frederick Trump (born Friedrich Trump; 14 March 1869 – 30 May 1918) was a German–American businessman and the patriarch of the Trump family.

While walking through the city and seeing Trump Tower, Donald Trump recalled saying: "This is a long way from Kallstadt."
